Meh. Nothing about this beer is memorable. Flavor didn’t really impress me. I tried to finish it quickly.

Draught at Brazen Head. Hazy gold colored with a dissolving white head. Initial aroma like a banana bread bomb, which mellowed to a light bread malty, lemony yeast scent. Citrus peel , spice and lemon notes permeate the off-sweet bready/cakey malt flavor. Smooth full body with lively carbonation. Pretty good.

I’m generally not crazy about wits...BUT I am about this one! Thsi has so many wonderful attributes: The aroma is sweet, not sour or yeasty. The pou is fine and smooth. The head is white with tiny tight bubbles...and the flavor is what I have always hoped for: all that smooth full body, pleanty of fresh bready flavor with a hint of lemon/citrus. And the wheat dosen’t hit you in the back of the throught. Instead, it just adds complexity to the flavor. A well deserved rating on Ratebeer!!!

07 vintage bottle. Awesome flavors going on. Pours like pulpy O.J. Smells of clove,banana and bubble gum. Velvety smooth texture and a flavor that lingers on the palate well after the beer is gone. Delicious for anytime of the year.

22oz bottle: Pours a very clear yellow with big white head. Aroma is the wit yeast all the way, with the orange and coriander making it’s presence followed by some spiciness. Flavor is much the same Yeast all the way with the orange being pretty subdued and the coriander coming through more. Then it takes a turn for the worst I think the wheat takes over and kills it being sour, irony and just not tasting good, that mixed with orange and coriander just isn’t helping followed by a pepper bite in the back. This just had a sour irony nasty tasting bite to it that made this beer a drain pour. I can’t believe this is the #1 wit.

750mL bottle corked and caged received from ABUSEDGOAT in a trade, stickered 2005. Pours a clear hazy golden 1 1/2 finger white head. Aroma of fresh orange slices, some yeast, some spicy peppery hops, coriander. When I first popped the cork I thought that this was fairly oaky and sour, but upon pouring I just got some tartness. Flavor has lots of yeast and spice to go along with the lemon tang and sweetish oranges. Coriander is also present. It almost has the cloying sweet flavor of some Belgians and saisons that I can’t hardly stand, but not quite. Semidry finish. Moderate carbonation, light body. Pretty good overall.
